Important Summer Meet Guidelines- All Competitive Group Swimmers:
As we close out our Short Course Yards (SCY) season and head into our Long Course Meters (LCM) season, I wanted to take a moment to remind each of you about our meet entry rules and how to navigate these meets individually. Summer rules function differently than our Fall-Spring rules do, so please review and contact me with any questions.
“Home” Meets - All SSC Hosted meets will have automatic entry for the Juniors, Advanced, and Seniors groups. Developmental and Novice athletes are invited to participate but must opt in by logging into their accounts and declaring intent to participate prior to the meet entry deadline. We may accept special requests for BG/BG+ athletes.
“Away” Meets - LCM - All away meets that are LCM meets are opt in meets for all groups. In order to participate, you
must log into your account and declare your intent to participate in this meet.
“Away” Meets - SCY - All away meets that are SCY meets will result in automatic entry for all Developmental and Novice swimmers where applicable. Juniors, Advanced, and Senior athletes are invited to participate in SCY meets but must opt in by logging into their account and declaring their intent to participate. The HAA Summer Sprint Series meets will be 12& Under athletes ONLY. We may accept special requests for BG/BG+ athletes.
Championship Meets - All Championship qualifying meets (RAC Sandbox Invitational, 2023 LCM Sr Metropolitan Championships, 2023 Age Group Team Challenge/Metro Age Group Championship, 2023 ISCA Championships, 2023 Zones Championships, etc) are mandatory and automatic enrollment will result for all individuals who qualify. A qualifiers report will be added to the forms/document section of each corresponding championship meet and will be updated periodically when possible to aid in knowing whether or not you have qualified. If you have qualified for one or more of these meets and you cannot participate, you must send an email to [email protected] in order to be removed from the meet.
How to use the website: Go to SachemSwimClub.com and click on the SSC Meet Calendar Tab. From there, click on the meet that you are looking for. A window will pop up with entry deadlines, meet date information, attachments for the most recent entry report, qualification reports if applicable, meet information packets which include qualification times and additional meet information, etc. You will be able to declare your intent to swim or to remove your athlete from meets at this location. Please follow this procedure moving forward. We will no longer be providing the meet chart in the weekly updates. If you have any questions or if you would like to review the meet calendar in detail, please contact me directly to set up a phone call to review!
